1. Purpose
The FIPA Modeling Technical Committee (Modeling TC) was established to develop vendor-neutral common semantics, meta-model, and abstract syntax for agent-based methodologies. The Objectives of Modeling TC are as follows:
- To facilitate advances in the state of the art of agent-based modeling.
- To enable developers to better understand how to model agent-based applications, including large-scale multiagent systems.
- To recommend technology for adoption of common semantics, meta-model, and abstract syntax for agent-based development methodologies.
- To recommend technology for adoption that enable interoperability across the lifecycle of AUML tools designs/work products.
- To promote standard modeling techniques that increase rigor and consistency of specifications.
- To leverage and interoperate with specifications from FIPA and other standards organizations.
- To liaise with other appropriate organizations

f-wp-00022 (Initial Version 2003-02-10)
This work plan will focus on problems and notations needed to support an agent-based unified modeling language (AUML) For more information, see http://www.auml.org

6. Status
Current results and future work status as at 32nd FIPA Meeting in Rockville, MD:
TC Modeling proposes the following resolutions:
- The Modeling TC participants agreed the current AUML Superstructure Metamodel is sufficiently stable and adequate to be used as a foundation to now incorporate further, more advanced extensions to agent/role/group. (9-yes, 1-abtain, 0-no votes)
- The Modeling TC participants agreed that future work will continue in the areas of agent-based extensions to state machine diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, dynamic role diagram, class diagrams, component diagrams, interaction diagrams, composite structure diagrams, environment diagram, mobility diagram.
- The Modeling TC participants agreed that initial drafts of the following diagrams will be delivered by 1 September 2004: state machine diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, dynamic role diagram, class diagrams, interaction diagrams.
- The Modeling TC participants agreed that initial drafts of the following diagrams will be delivered by 1 December 2004: component diagrams, interaction diagrams, composite structure diagrams, environment diagram, mobility diagram.
- The Modeling TC participants agreed that the FIPA Modeling TC would cooperate and work closely with the OMG Agent SIG‹who will also be working on the AUML drafts.
- The Modeling TC would like to thank all the participants at the Modeling TC meetings.
Status updates from this and prior meetings can be found in the respective resolutions. This information is available at FIPA Past Meetings.
